Wanaka Lake Morning
Wanaka Lake Morning
The rising sun on the calm waters of Lake Wanaka highlighted the autumn gold on the famous Wanaka Tree. Amazingly, even at sunrise, there were no tourists at the site and only a few locals out walking their dogs. A peaceful time with no distractions was good for my creativity. I chose a lower perspective in order to make sure as much of the tree rose above the lake waterline in the horizon in order to minimize distractions to the form of the tree. I spent more time just taking in the scene than I did creating the image. Both visions will last a lifetime for me. The one I internalized I can take with me wherever I go.
